Hello there.
I can understand your concern.
Its basically a CT scan of the PNS(para nasal sinus).
Its a non invasive procedure therefore no pain nothing. Therefore no need to be worried/tensed etc.
CT machine is huge but no need to get intimidated by it.
You do not need to take any special precautions as such. You can go after breakfast and also after taking your blood pressure medications.
And yes you can go to office after the test.
Best regards.

Hello, it is CT scan of your paranasal sinuses, there is no need for special precautions, yes you can have breakfast,, and can go to work after procedure, yes it is a noninvasive procedure, it's simple,, but taken from a huge machine,, don't worry about it. Take your hypertensive medicines as usual.
